STARS SHOWCASE
FEVER 78, MAGIC 52

The Fever cast a spell over the Magic with a surprisingly easy 78-52 victory.

Right from the get go the Fever connected as they led 15-2 . Leading the early charge was Brianna Edwards with six points. The Magic did put together a seven possession run to narrow the gap to 19-17, but the Magic left them just as quickly. A 1/14 sequence right after that narrowing is a case in point. It was 44-28 Fever at half.

The Fever continued to play with authority in the second half. Some of their players had been together in the AAU season, which was a great help with familiarity. Most of these events players need name tags. That wasn't the case for Alyssa Marschner and Rachel Moen. The Fever took a 20 point lead at 58-38 and they maintained that margin the rest of the way.

Three players for the Fever almost out scored the entire Magic team (48-52). Brianna Edwards led the way with 18 points including three old fashioned three point plays; Alyssa Marschner added 16 points including two 3s and Rachael Moen contributed 14 points plus had a strong floor game. Marschner and Moen (M&M) looked like they had total command of the game. They didn't look hurried and were spot on with decisions. Moen had 8 assists for this game.
